BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Thousands of Hungarians protested on Saturday against education reforms implemented by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which critics see as another attempt by the right-wing leader to boost his control over state institutions.
Teachers, whose demands include a sharp reduction in teaching hours and a free choice of textbooks, were joined in the rain outside parliament by other unionized workers including miners and civil servants.
Protesters say the reforms form part of a centralization drive by Orban over the past six years that has brought state media and other public institutions under his government's control.
Singing the national anthem, some protesters shouted "We won't let this happen." Others held banners saying "Don't chase our youth away."

MISKOLC, Hungary (Reuters) - Thousands of Hungarians protested on Wednesday against reforms of the education system by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's center-right government that they consider oppressive and heavy-handed.
The protesters say the reforms are yet another example of what they see as Orban's authoritarian style of leadership that has drawn criticism from the European Union and the United States as well as human rights groups within Hungary.
The Orban government, in power since 2010, took control of schools from local authorities three years ago and a central body now regulates all aspects of education, down to procuring chalk for rural elementary schools.
It has significantly increased teachers' workload and set a new curriculum using textbooks the critics say contain factual errors and promote very conservative views on issues such as homosexuality.
The Victorians did not encourage education among the working
masses. They were employed in dreadful conditions in dangerous
factories, on low wages on the farms of big landowners and in
virtual servitude in domestic service. Added to this there was
the constant demand to fill the ranks of the army and navy to
maintain the largest empire in the world. In 1870 an Education
Act was passed allowing all children between 5 and 10 to go to
school. However, as their parents had to pay a small fee, most
children did not attend. Only in 1891 when education was made
free for children under 10 did the majority go to school. Even
then many did not, as their parents were poor and they preferred
to send them to work to earn income for the family.
